Most of the systems I am using don't have actual scanners attached. I'dlike to simulate a flatbed scanner by copying an image chunk by chunk witha delay and even simulate selecting an area and resolution by using a highdef image to copy from and get a lower res depending on the settings Igive. Is this already built into sane-test backend somehow?

Is this already built into sane-test backend somehow?When I tried withscanimage -d 'test:0' --batch="sane-test%d.tiff" --batch-count 1--format tiffI output image was all black and there was no delayI'm thinking I could simulate this usingÂ imagemagick's convert programand a simple program to copy a bit at a time.

If you look at scanimage --device=test --help, you will see that thereis a delay option (along with almost anything else you need to test yourfrontend).
